Perhaps the key scene in Hamlet that brings about Hamlet's understanding of death would be when he comes upon the skull of Yorick, his family's deceased jester, in Act Five, Scene One. It is then that he realizes everyone's common mortality and that ultimately, it is our mortality that ties together all of humanity. Shakespeare was also commenting on society and how we create titles for ourselves when no one is really more important than the other; ultimately, we all die, and in that is the ultimate equality.
